Part 2: • World's Greatest Swing...
This wooden swing set is epic, it has everything, tub slide, monkey bars, a bridge, multiple levels and swings. This is not a complicated swing set to build but it does have a lot of parts. Build time for this wooden playset was roughly 30 hrs but would be less now that I have ironed out the issues in the original plans. Cost for everything, slides, swings and lumber included was $2300...cost will vary based on lumber cost in your areas.
I have put together 44 pages of colored, highly detailed, step by step plans that have all the parts and supplies that you will need to build this swing set for your children
Plans to show how to build one for yourself!

Just bought these and started working on this this past weekend. Shortened the bride part to 10 feet, and using 3 inch screws in most places which is strong enough for this build. Will be using something bigger for the bridge part though, probably lags. With a shorter bridge and not doing the whole side piece for the twisty slide we're looking around $800-900 or so for the lumber and screws, and this is using a 10% military discount, just in case someone was wondering what the cost of just building it's base costs. Also, the plans use a lot of 8 foot 2x6's, you can save money and waste by buying primarily 12 foot 2x6's and cutting them down

Also, this is not a 2 day project for a single person lol. That being said, we got about as far as this video goes in about 3-4 hours on day one with 2.5 people working (Dad is disabled so only has one good arm lol). This was helped going quicker by doing all of the cuts first using a mitre station and stop blocks to make quick repeated cuts, and having my dad mark out and pre drill holes where needed. Do all your cutting first then putting together the frames goes very quick. You don't need to predrill but it makes things easier and helps prevent cracking even more.

Fist off, wow your grass! You can tell you live in not the South. Second, I started building this playground during Covid. It took 2 months to find all the lumber, then the kids and I started to build it and the HOA did not like the height... So knocked it over, spent months negotiating with the HOA, finally got a plan approved. One level but three towers wide, the third tower turned into a playhouse. Thanks for the plans! It took 48 weeks from when we first started to try to buy wood till done but it is awesome!

I used structural screws on our (much smaller) playhouse/swingset, they're awesome. I was wondering about the screws on the joist hangers though. I've always seen those nailed in. Are you thinking nails would back out with weather exposure? Or just easier to standardize the fasteners?

Tyler, It looks great. I look forward to part 2. I couldn't tell if you spaced your decking boards out. Many years ago I did a deck and wish that I had left a little extra space between the decking boards for seasonal expansion. On recent projects I found just using some framing nails as spacers saved me a lot of time tightening and replacing deck boards at the end of each summer.
